It was just after 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated going over the rugby, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Burlinch and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental car. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we could get to her right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Burlinch (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
